Biography
Dr. Christian Sandor is a Senior Lecturer at the University of South Australia, where he directs the Magic Vision Lab. He believes that Augmented Reality will have a profound impact on the future of mankind. He has filed six patents and has co-authored over 30 peer-reviewed scientific publications.
He previously worked at Canon's Leading-Edge Technology Research Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. There, he created a design environment that enables users to see and touch virtual objects and invented a 3D cursor for mobile Augmented Reality.
Before joining Canon, he obtained a doctorate in computer science from the Munich University of Technology, Germany. Under the supervision of Prof. Gudrun Klinker and Prof. Steven Feiner, he developed a software framework and authoring tools for distributed Augmented Reality user interfaces. Using these tools, he created a variety of applications, ranging from art installations to industrial applications. In a collaboration with BMW, he worked in an interdisciplinary team to investigate Augmented Reality guidance systems for car drivers.
